Probably thcmost serious damage done
I'm the city was that around the First
Market. Here all the cellars were flooded
and a large quantity of goods Of All des-
criptions was destroyed 10 was impos-
sibie last night to find out the exact loss
of all the parties, bat nearly everybody in
the old. flooded district has more or less
suffered Among the reports late
last night was one that a
stable IN Use lower end Of Fulton had
been struck by lightning and destroyed
Ii was said that the damage hy the fire
done IN Jackson ward was about S2j.
As stated above II is miracle that no
greater damage was done In the city, and
this Is of itself great cause for con
graduation and thankiulncss

fell considerably there was chilly
breeze stirring, and If the storm king
kept quiet there was q prospect for its
